| Research Abstract |
Aspergillus oryzae, which is called as Kouji, is a useful fungus to produce industrial materials such as soy sauce, miso, sake, medicine and so on. However, we still have some problems, because we do not get enough spores to prepare the culture of A. oryzae. In Aspergillus nidulans, we characterized HysA, a histidine kinase, controls the formation of conidia in response to fungicide or low oxygen conditions. So, we tried to identify HysA ortholog of A. oryzae to promote the conidia formation in A. oryzae
